Peanut Butter Chocolate Covered Eggs

(Makes 2 dozen)

• 1/2 cup (1 stick/8 tablespoons) butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil, or substitute with all-vegetable shortening
• 2 cups powdered sugar (plus 1/4-1/2 cup more, if need)
• Easter Sprinkles, optional
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, or substitute with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips
• 1-1/2 cups creamy Peanut Butter

1. In a large bowl beat together peanut butter and butter until smooth and creamy. Beat in vanilla. Add 1/3 of powdered sugar, at a time, beating after each addition.
2. Cover and chill for 30 minutes. If peanut butter mixture is too sticky beat in about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of additional powdered sugar until mixture is no longer sticky and will not stick to finger tips.
3. Roll peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls. Flatten slightly with palms of hands to shape into eggs. Chill in freezer on cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper, optional) for 15-20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, add chocolate chips to microwave-safe bowl with coconut oil. Microwave for 1 minute 20 seconds; stirring every 20 seconds.
5. Dip chilled peanut butter eggs, one at a time, into chocolate to cover completely. Shake off excess chocolate. Place back onto chilled cookies sheet. Add sprinkles to top of eggs at this time, optional. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until chocolate is firm.

TIPS: Make 3 days in advance. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
